I like Oxford commas because it makes it very clear what you mean.
Example 1: I had a great time at the bachelor party. The night was unforgettable because of the strippers, David and John.
Example 2: I had a great time at the bachelor party. The night was unforgettable because of the strippers, David, and John.
In the first example, the lack of the Oxford comma allows the reader to assume this bachelor party included 2 male strippers named David and John.
Whereas in the second example, the inclusion of the Oxford comma lets the reader know the three entities (strippers, David, John) are what made the night unforgettable.
This is the way the value of the Oxford comma was explained to me. If you're an English major, or someone who fancies themself a gramma fiend, inform as to why I'm wrong. I love learning.
